Chapter 4.8, Problem 4.9PSP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using the given conditions the given statement that is chip gives about 5 calories of heat when metabolized has to be verified.

Concept Introduction:

Bomb calorimeter: It is constant volume calorimeter. It contains bomb in which a combustible material is generally placed. The bomb is filled with $O_2\left(g\right)$ which then placed in water filled vessel.

Here oxygen and its compound is referred as system while the water and bomb is considered as surroundings.

The energy transferred is determined by formula $c_{water}\times {\text{ m}}_{water}\times \Delta T_{water}$.

    $c_{water}\times {\text{ m}}_{water}\times \Delta T_{water}$

Here,

$c_{water}\text{ =}$ specific heat capacity of water.

${\text{m}}_{water}\text{ =}$ water mass

$\Delta T_{water}=$ temperature change of water.
